<p>
      Adding your own data in the <a class="link" href="GdaMetaStore.html" title="GdaMetaStore">GdaMetaStore</a> associated to a connection
      is a possibility to avoid for example to have another file to store your program-specific data (which 
      you obviously don't want to store in a connection).
    </p>
<p>
      Doing so is as easy as getting a pointer to the internal connection used by the 
      <a class="link" href="GdaMetaStore.html" title="GdaMetaStore">GdaMetaStore</a> associated the connection, and then use
      that connection directly as any other connection object.
    </p>
<p>
      However <span class="application">Libgda</span> has some specific API to make this easier, described in the
      <a class="link" href="GdaMetaStoreCustomData.html" title="Adding custom data">section about adding custom data</a> to
      a GdaMetaStore.
